![]() It's the lowest-ranking of the four because of some minor setbacks, and most of those setbacks weren't even fully the band's fault. ![]() Legend has it that when the band showed the album to their manager, he told them it lacked any real singles (which is kind of ridiculous, considering that while TOYPAJ is ever so slightly darker and more "mature" than Enema, it was still some of the brightest, most sugary pop punk around in 2001). ![]() The angered Tom and Mark quickly wrote the substance-lacking "First Date" and "Rock Show" (respectively) as something of a "fuck you" to their manager, both of which made the album and indeed became massive singles. Despite the popularity, it's not hard to tell how much those songs do lack in substance compared to the rest of the album. Non-album songs from that session like "Time to Break Up" and "Don't Tell Me That It's Over" are far superior, and far more in line with the rest of the album.
